实验粒子物理学小组的主要重点是在可获得的最高实验室能量下研究自然。我们发现伴随能量前沿实验的发现的魅力非常诱人。CERN的大型强子对撞机是当前的能源前沿，旨在揭开Electroweak Symmetry Breaking机理的奥秘，并有望在标准模型之外寻找物理学。参与LHC的CMS实验是Brown HEP​​组的长期研究愿景的重点。新的能源前沿设施“LHC“â€提供了近一个数量级的能源增加，注定会带来许多令人振奋的新发现。2012年7月宣布的类似希格斯玻色子的发现是LHC和粒子物理学领域的胜利。
The principal focus of the experimental particle physics group is the study of nature at the very highest laboratory energies available. We find the allure of discoveries attendant to experiments at the energy frontier very compelling. The Large Hadron Collider at CERN is the current energy frontier destined to uncover the mystery of the Electroweak Symmetry Breaking mechanism and poised to find physics beyond the Standard Model. Participation in the CMS experiment at the LHC is the focal point of the Brown HEP group's long-term research vision. The new energy frontier facility the LHC offers nearly an order of magnitude increase in energy and is destined to bring many exciting new discoveries. The discovery of a Higgs-like boson, announced in July 2012 is a triumph for LHC and the field of particles physics.
